Nowadays, Top Trumps packs are filled with licensed brand tat, but readers keen to re-live the days when TT's decks were full of real stuff, like supercars, jet fighters, locomotives, missiles and such, will be able to do so with a new tech-inspired set, if one Harry Mylonadis gets his way.
Or, rather, if he gets $3500 (£2232 …

I wouldn't turn my nose up at a deck if they are priced reasonably when/if they hit retail. Even if I didn't "play" with them they would be interesting to flick through.

Though if the subject is too niche for you then Top Trumps do a Smurfs deck which the website assures me features favourite characters such as "Brainy, Lazy, Papa Smurf and of course Smurfette." and it is apparently "Smurftastic".

"licensed brand tat"

Got your rose-tinted glasses on? Go back 25 years, or so, and you'd find my friends and I playing the Star Wars deck, at the exclusion of all others (except maybe the Horror deck), not least because the presence of the detailed stats was proof positive that the US were building X-Wings and a Death Star

The news presence of Reagan's Star Wars defence programme may have influenced our thinking. That, and being 8-year old boys...

Err... no.... (not always anyways)

"...Lamborghini Countach card..."

I remember the Land Speed record vehicles deck. There was a thing in there called "The Blue Flame", which was basically a rocket on wheels, that trounced all-comers. Faster, more powerful, more expensive, etc ad nauseum. Finding that in your hand was like manna from heaven.....

....until some SOB asked the dreaded question; "Number of wheels?".......bloody thing was a trike.
